Adventure and Romance NOT With Just One Man...

Cat Devlan bent on vengeance on the man who got her father, a pirate, hanged. But she wasn't expecting to fall for his nephew, Ryan Nicholls, even when she hates him. Ryan wants her from the very beginning and bent on getting her despite her resisting, escaping, and manipulation of others to get away from him. Cat Devlan is violet-eyed, copper-haired beauty who got balls. She masquerade as a man, runs a pirate ship, and order a tided up Ryan put in her cabin. Run away from Ryan to Madagascar and have a sexy Irish lover, Sean Rafferty. Got toss in a harem and still manages to spring free. She goes on so many adventures and places just to get away from Ryan. I would describe Cat as a smart woman but she falls for Ryan and that is debatable. From the beginning of the book, I really hated Ryan Nicholls because he raped Cat. When the book ends, I hated him even more because of his infidelity. I find that I liked Cat's lover, Sean, better and wish he was the hero of the story. Sean is fun, relax, and cool and he has a good sense of humor and knows how to play games despite one flaw. Also, he understands no means no. I still don't understand why Cat loves Ryan. The guy is extremely stubborn, cheats on the heroine many time, tortured her, verbally abusive to her, etc... the list goes on. Bewared, some rape scenes are in the book. I have never read a romance novel where the hero and heroine both sleep with other people after they have known each other. In a way it is refreshing and makes me upset at the same time. It's definitely one of those book that stays on my mind for years to come. I recommend this book for it is unique, memorable, fast pace, and full of adventure. The writing are rich and descriptive so that you are pull into the story.
